Long Live the Empress

Aunt Su screamed in exaggeration, "Someone, go and ask the master to come over!" She bent down and picked up the old lady's walking stick, "Don't worry, old lady, the master will be here soon!"

Sure enough, Yue Hanwen and Su Hongfu came in less than half a cup of tea. Yue Hanwen looked at the boy kneeling on the ground and asked, "What's going on?"

The servant shivered with fear, "This morning, the maid found that the young lady was not on the couch, so she went out to look for her. She searched the entire Taoist temple but couldn't find her, so she asked me to come back and report the news so that the master could send someone to look for her."

Yue Hanwen was also shocked and was about to send someone to look for her, but was persuaded by Aunt Su, "Master, if people knew that the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was missing, the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be ruined. Besides, maybe the young lady went out to play by herself and will be back soon!"

Su Hongfu's heart suddenly trembled. The eldest lady is missing? What should I do? "Master, no matter what, we should find her first!"

Aunt Su snorted coldly, "Aunt Fu has no daughter, so of course she won't consider the reputation of the young ladies in the mansion. If the news of the eldest young lady's disappearance spreads, how will the remaining young ladies cope with the future? I'm afraid they won't even be able to find a husband!?"

The servant on the ground looked towards Aunt Su tremblingly, "Aunt Su, the second young lady is missing..."

Now Aunt Su was dumbfounded, "You...you said it was the second young lady who was missing? Not the eldest young lady?"

The boy lowered his head to the ground and dared not look up again.

The old lady could no longer bear the continuous blows and fainted. Aunt Zhang quickly had the old lady carried back to Yixiangyuan (the old lady's courtyard) to find a doctor.

Aunt Su fell down from the chair, dragging her swollen body, and crawled to Yue Hanwen's feet like a maggot, "Master, please send someone to look for the second young lady. If we can't find her, we will report to the police. If something happens to the second young lady... how am I going to live..."

"Hey~ Why did Sister Su say that again? Sister Su just said that we can't send anyone to look for her, lest it ruin the reputation of the other young ladies in the mansion! Why did Sister Su say this when she heard that the second young lady was in trouble? Is Sister Su hinting to the old lady and the master that the second young lady is more valuable than the eldest young lady? More important than the reputation of all the young ladies in the mansion?" Before Aunt Su finished howling, Su Hongfu said a series of sarcastic words. "Master, Sister Su also said just now that maybe the second young lady went out to play by herself and will be back soon!"

Aunt Su was so angry that she almost passed out. She pointed at Su Hongfu with trembling hands, "You are so vicious!"

Su Hongfu hid behind Yue Hanwen and held Yue Hanwen's arm aggrievedly, "Master, what I said were all Sister Su's original words. Why did Sister Su accuse me of being vicious? I am really wronged... Woo woo..."

Yue Tianhong, who was lying on the couch, could no longer pretend and got off the couch. "Father, please send someone to find my second sister quickly. Grandfather loves my second sister the most. If he knew that something happened to my second sister, the Prime Minister's Mansion would not be able to explain to Grandfather!"

Yue Han was originally hesitating about what to choose. Now that Yue Tianhong brought up Su Keqi, he felt even more uncomfortable. "Does it cost me to explain to the daughter of the Prime Minister?"

"That's right! A mere second-rank general actually wants to meddle in the family affairs of a first-rank prime minister. He is totally out of his mind!" Su Hongfu never forgot to add more firewood every moment.

Yue Tianhong was furious. He pointed at Su Hongfu and said, "You daring bitch! When the masters are talking, how can a concubine interrupt?"

Su Hongfu shrank back behind Yue Hanwen again, "Master, isn't Sister Su a concubine? Why can Sister Su say it, but I can't?"

Yue Hanwen hugged the trembling Su Hongfu and glared at Yue Tianhong, "What are you going to do? Are you going to beat your aunt again?"

Yue Tianhong took a deep breath, silently stepped back, and saluted, "Father, please send someone to find my second sister quickly!"

Yue Hanwen had already been dizzy from their noise, and ordered the guards beside him, "Select a few people to look for the second young lady, and do it secretly, don't make any noise!"

Aunt Su was helped up from the ground by Yue Tianhong. She no longer had time to be angry, but was anxiously waiting for the guards to bring news from Yue Jinghong.

The sent guards searched for Yue Jinghong all night but could not find her. Yue Jinghao at the Qingshan Taoist Temple also did not sleep for a whole day and night, and even had little time to eat!

No matter how much Meng, who was staying with Yue Jinghao, tried to persuade her, Yue Jinghao stayed awake all night, just waiting for the servants to bring news about Yue Jinghong.

Meng looked at the haggard Yue Jinghao and felt indescribably moved...
